Why is hydrogen a noble gas?

Answer 1

Helium, like all the noble gases, has a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell (and since helium is a very small atom, with only hydrogen being smaller, it takes only 2 electrons to fill its outer shell; larger atoms require 8). All chemical reactions are driven by the shifting of electrons in order to create more stable arrangements, so if the arrangement is already stable, no shifting is needed and no chemical reactions will happen.

Answer 2

Noble gases can be found in the last column, or group, of the Periodic Table. They are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn. All of these elements, including Xenon, have a full outer shell of electrons. This means that they rarely bond and are very stable. Because Xenon, and the rest of these elements all have a full outer shell and share many of the same properties, they were named the "noble gases".

Answer 3

Noble gas have property of being inert or non-reactive due to their full filled outershell so as helium which have completely filled i.e. 2 electron in outer orbit so is inert or noble gas

Answer 4

Helium has completely filled valence orbitals and is chemically inert similar to other noble gases.

Answer 5

Hydrogen is anything but a noble gas. Noble is another name for un-reactive. Hydrogen is extremely reactive.

Answer 6

No, the next element, helium is.

Noble gasses exist as single atoms and are almost completely nonreactive.

Hydrogen reacts easily and even violently.

Answer 7

helium has completely filled valence orbitals similar to that of noble gases and is chemically inert at room temperature.
